EPA “Mega Suit” Pesticides and Endangered Species

Monday, August 30th, 2010

The Environmentalist Activist Groups are at it again

We at American consider ourselves environmentalists in fact it’s part of our logo. But now, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) is threatening to sue the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for failing to consider the effects of almost 400 pesticides on more than 800 endangered species that live throughout the United States. This “Mega Suit” will cost us tax payers millions and millions of dollars even though most of these pesticides have been in use for many years with no evidence that they affect “endangered” species.

Bee, Hornets and Wasps Season in Michigan

Monday, August 9th, 2010

It’s that time of year again!

Late summer and fall is the time to be careful about stinging insects. In spring bees, hornets and wasps are pollinators in search of sweets and other carbohydrates. Late in the year they begin to search for proteins such as insects which the place in their nests to feed next years brood. They become aggressive especially around their nests.

Prevention

Never try home remedies for stinging insects. Wear light loosely fitting clothes. DO NOT use perfumes i.e. under arm deodorants etc, when around bees, wasps and hornets. My best advice is leave them alone but if its necessary to remove them call a licensed pest management professional. If you are allergic to bee stings be sure to carry one of the benedryl type treatments with you.
